Question Keyboard
I was looking in to buy a new keyboard and i thought about saitek for a while until i read some reviews and it seems the paint wears out quick for extended use

does anyone have any recommendations for a good gaming keyboard like the razer tarantula coming out soon?

also does anyone have any input on razer copperheads cuz i thought of buying on of those too

I personally am using a Logitec G85.

I like the keypress and the flexibility of the programmable hotkeys. The multiple USB ports are handy also.

I do have 2 main concerns:
1) I have not been able to make it work with a KLM switch. (Known issue per logitech)
2) The paint is wearing off my keys very quickly and many of the buttons are clear blue lights..lol. I have managed to stop the problem on the remaining keys by applying a thin coat of clear fingernail polish.
